Dr. Bready told of propaganda be- ing carried ‘out in large cities by! red-flag socialists. He said he had stood on the corners and heard them denounce religion and denounce mar- riage.

J., Nov. 10.— The Hall-Mills murder mystery re- mained a mystery today and there seemed to be no immediate prospect of it being cleared up. No official announcement has been made as to the result of the conference in Som- erville yesterday between Deputy Attorney General Wilbur A. Mott, in charge of the case, and the foreman of the Somerset county grand jury. Mr. Mott declined to make any statement when he emerged from the conference, but his attitude indicated that he had been unable to convince Foreman Gibb and other officials thgt he had enough evidence to war- rant grand jury action. Many people in_New Bruhswick believe the case ill never go beyond the investiga- tion stage. The grand jury has been called tu meet here this afternoon to take up its regular term, but Mr. Mott said the Hall-Mills case would not be pre- | today.

Other- wise, says the note, the commission- ers will be compelled to refer to their governments for necessary ac- tion. The allied generals also arranged a meeting with Rafet Pasha, the nationalist governor here, to whom they will submit minimum demands with a view to insuring the safety of the troops and efficient control of the police and gendarmerie. The commissioners also will dis- cuss the situation at Chanak conse- quent upon the Kemalist encroac’ ments upon the neutral zone.
